Chapter 29:

Autumn’s wolf ran into the Lunar forest without looking back. She could hear the anguished cry from Drake but her wolf didn’t appear to pay any attention. Her wolf charged ahead at breakneck speed desperate to find her mate.

We don’t know where he is Autumn tried to reason.

Her wolf didn’t respond. She was single minded, focused on Elijah and nothing else. Autumn could hear another wolf following in pursuit but could not determine who. Her wolf increased her pace pushing herself to breaking point in an attempt to stay out of reach of the chasing wolf.

STOP.

The mind-link came through from her father. Her wolf faltered torn between her desire to find her mate and the need to obey her Alpha. Her pace slowed but she pushed forward fighting against the compulsion to obey.

I said STOP!

The last word was bellowed into Autumn’s mind so forcefully it crippled her wolf to the floor like the weight of a giant hand was forcing her body to the ground. Her stubborn wolf fought the pressure, her muscular legs shaking with exertion as she tried to stand. She growled in frustration before her legs gave out making her collapse completely. Moments later Alpha Grey’s wolf appeared towering over her, his natural dominance changing the feeling in the air surrounding them. He quickly shifted back into his human form, pulling on a pair of shorts which were strapped to his leg. Tossing some extra clothes her way he commanded, “Shift, we need to talk.”

Autumn finally felt her wolf cede control back to her allowing her to shift into her human form once more. Dressing quickly she avoided looking at her father not through embarrassment of her nudity but the shame of what she had done and how much she had him and her pack down. Once Autumn was dressed Alpha Grey started to walk through the woods, he didn’t instruct his daughter further but knew she would follow now her wolf was no longer desperate and in control.

After a few minutes walking in silence the pair came across a fallen tree, its branchless trunk made the perfect place to sit within the privacy of the deserted forest. Alpha Grey gestured for his daughter to take a seat before sitting down himself a foot away from her. Respecting her need for space as much as possible he continued to look into the forest as he spoke, “Do you want to tell me what happened back there?”

“I’m so ashamed. I screwed up Dad,” Autumn whispered after a pause.

“It’s not too late to go back.”

“I can’t. I just don’t understand how this all happened?” Alpha Grey remained silent, giving her the chance to sort through her thoughts before she continued, “Drake was supposed to be my mate, he said he was. But my wolf is saying he isn’t and I think she wants Elijah. He said he was my mate but I didn’t believe him because of Drake and I hurt him. Now I’ve hurt Drake too and the pack, as well as humiliated myself in front of all our guests.
